A Comprehensive Nash Equilibrium Framework to Model Water Distribution Networks with Variable Speed Pumps

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, the authors extend work on using the Nash equilibrium framework to analyze pressure-dependent models of water distribution systems with flow-control valves and pressure-control valves to the case where the systems also have flow-...Practical ApplicationsPumps and pump stations are big consumers of energy. The flexibility of variable speed pumps can improve the total efficiency of many water distribution systems and contributes to the international goal of reducing greenhouse gas ...
